CHICAGO, March 21.-Speculation in
wheat was at low ebb today. There
was very little news TO affect the
course Of the market and prices were
held within narrow limits. M.y
wheat ope ICED at Sl4c, declined to
8Csc, and closed at Bic. The decrease
in the visi Die supply of 100, 900 bush
els fell considerably short OF the ex-
pectations of spectators, and no es-
pecial change in the values followed
the announcement. The fact is that
the uncertain condition of the market
checks trading. Spectators are
afraid to sell "short" and are reluctant
about buying, fearing that the tire.
mendous quantities now held by Ger.
tain "bull" spectators may be thrown
IN the market at any time. The ex-
port clearings aggregated $4,000 !
bushels from two ports. The receipts
aggregated $4,000 at eleven points
The expected large receipts OF coTu,
ogether with increase Of $4,000
bushels in the viaibie supply, caused
. weaker feeling, and the prices fell off
